Wtf happened with Brissett deal?

[HailHydra]

Yeah, yeah we all talk about the Garoppolo deal, but how did we lose so poorly on the Brissett deal? Based on reports of the Seahawks offering a 2nd rder for the kid, and the Colts turning it down, makes me think that trading Brissett for Phillip freaking Dorsett is one of the worst trades that we have ever done.

It's not like we traded a franchise QB away, probably wasn't a fit for us anyhow, never understood the Brisett hype.

Bisquick fan here. Hope he has a good career. A #2 QB.

 

[BlueThunder]

Ummm...Nope.....Does Garopollo ring a bell?

Meh Dorsett for Brissett a back up QB for a #4 receiver.

We could call the JG deal "the 'loss' that keeps on winning" : So far Dawson, Sam, the Bears 2019 2nd round pick, and the Lions 2019 3rd round pick.

Dawson will see at least some time a slot CB this year with the ability to expand. Sam's on the bubble as a STer and it figures at worst they'd try to get him on the PS. The Chi and Detriot picks should be ~middle rounders.

My problem with that trade is if Brady goes down......syonara to any playoff wins......I understand the $$$ issues so Pats were caught between a rock and a hard place with TB wanting to play another 4 years or more

Do you really believe that report?

Unfortunately there was no way they could keep both, and there was no way they were trading Brady despite what the goons in the media write.

....or what the Garoppolites want

I doubt that he's a franchise QB. But is he better than Hoyer? Yes. Would we have trade bait on our team, so that WE could be the one's denying 2nd round picks for players that wouldn't start? 100% yes.

Wouldn't be out of the ordinary.

Uh we coulda easily kept Brissett as our backup

That's a crooked way to look at it. Brissett has serious value right now - whether it be a 2nd round pick or even a 3rd round pick. The Colts got a serious advantage from that trade and we might have gotten a player who isn't even a roster lock. Do we want other teams to get free picks when we could've gotten them ourselves?

And Bill Polian had a first round grade on Brady.. Hindsight is 20/20.......

 

[RobertWeathers]

Wouldn't be out of the ordinary.

Ask yourself why on Earth would SEA trade a 2nd for a backup when it has a relatively young QB?

Keep in mind who authored that report.

Hes so full of ka ka

 

[Froob]

I think we messed up giving up on this kid so soon, hope Dorsett makes it worth it but I’m not sure he even makes the roster. Brissett did well last year considering. Not sure he ever becomes a real good starter, but I think he’ll be in this league a decade from now still.

You're going to earn @Joker 's wrath by spelling ca ca with a K.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

If the report is true, and I’m skeptical, then the colts are even dumber than I thought for turning it down.

I haven't known yet if trade of Brissett for Dorset was a "silly" move . This season will show what is a real Dorset's value for the team. However I am sure if Seahawks really offered 2nd round pick for Brissett that would have been far too much for that guy.
